There are numerous passionate residents offering input, though the conversations are splintered and many voices are competing. A major proposal by the Shinnecock Nation for a gas station off Sunrise Highway — and, in the longer term, development on the bluff at Westwoods — has sparked concern among Hampton Bays residents. But there are other pressures: a developer has amassed parcels and has a vision for redevelopment. This Express Sessions forum brings together many of the players in one room to search for common ground and try to identify successful strategies for moving forward on the issues affecting Hampton Bays.

THE PANEL:

Marion Boden, Hampton Bays resident;

Ray D'Angelo, President, Hampton Bays Civic Association;

John Leonard, Founder, Hampton Bays Alliance;

Gayle Lombardi, Director, Hampton Bays Civic Association;

Cyndi McNamara, Southampton Town Councilwoman.
